    Getting excited for Kostas. How well do you guys think he'll be off the bench?

    Harden impressed with Kostas. That means he'll pass to him.

    Dream is already at training camp working with Dwight.

    Kostas is smart and humble. He's gonna succeed.

    Just about to post our videos so rather than create a new thread, I'm just going to hijack this one.

    Typical.

    Harden talks highly of Kostas' play on offense. McHale asks can he defend at the NBA level.

    Matter of time before Harden teaches them to euro step.

    Why should I be excited about Kostas? Honest question: what's the hype around him?

    I ask because we have hyped up so many players in recent history and I'm wondering what you guys' think makes Kostas different

    Wherever the hype from Dmo came from. And Anderson too. I guess the stretch p***y 4 Morey is trying to fullfill aka the unicorn Dirk.

    So I take it you haven't watched him play. Kostas is a tough, hard-nosed dude. Not like DMo/Anderson at all. Continue your Morey hate though.

    I'm really impressed with Kostas' english. And from what I was reading on that blog he does, he already gets how Houston works. Smart guy. -> Will that translate to basketball intelligence? Good decision making?

    It's the same cycle over again. X player gets hyped up to such a disproportionate ratio, here comes me and gets tomatoes thrown. Then reality sets in and people start making me tomato soup. Don't make me tomato soup

    I haven't seen anyone saying Papa is going to be a star. I agree the DMo hype was out of control. I don't think it's a stretch to say that Kostas has the potential to be a nice role player who plays tough D. That's what people around here have been saying.
